1) A tank's shield is completely gone after one flux grenade, SO COORDINATE
2) AV grenades don't explode or disappear immediately after being thrown, so anticipate a tank's path, and throw all your AV grenades in his way. I did this a few nights ago, stepped out after he hit my nades and hit him once or twice with my FG. DONE.
3) Remote explosives are useful traps. Tanks always go the same routes. They are almost as good as proxy mines for killing vehicles.
4) Try to hit tanks under their chassis or right in the @$$. It deals more damage.
5) If you see a tank, and have ZERO AV equipped...hide.
1) Not v a Shield Tank it doesn't and even v an Armour Tank .. losing it's shields isn't an issue .. it's an armor tank
2) AV Grenades barely do any damage and they are really only any use v a bad tanker that's gone ridiculously close to enemy infantry .. if your in a tank and are being hit by multiple AV grenades then you're a bad tanker
3) You have to sit their with the detonator out ready and they only have a 5m radius and so your timing has to be perfect and with fast moving vehicles it is very difficult to do and also you are extremely vulnerable to other infantry as well as the tank itself .. Proxy mines don;t do enough damage and the trigger is appalling I've often seen Tanks drive right over them without taking any damage at all because they were moving to fast
4) How exactly do you hit a Tank under it's chassis ? Is it possible to roll under them ? I will however accept the shooting them in the back thing but that's obvious ..
5) If a Tank see's a squad of AV .. it .. just .. heads straight into them and stops to shoot at them ... If 3/4 people with AV doesn't deter a Tank from charging in then clearly AV isn't balanced ... AV = Anti Vehicle .. if you are using a vehicle and drive upto AV to kill them then either you are an idiot or AV isn't balanced
